Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Give this a skip. Nothing much to see. Overpriced at 6 euro. Very little colour. Some exotic plants. Needs regular weeding and some more help with design. Might be better in summer time.

This is a lovely garden to visit. We were the only visitors when we went, but we were so well looked after by the owner. Some lovely plants to look at in a lovely, beautifully set out garden. The views over the Shannon estuary were stunning.

Had the most memorable day at Knockpatrick gardens with Tim and Helen O'Brien. We stopped by the gardens on our first full day in Ireland after my sister read a great review on the DiscoverIreland website. We spent about two hours touring the magnificent and diverse gardens. Tim was extremely knowledgeable about all the plants and his passion for the work was infectious. We were touched by the hospitality and friendship the O'Brien's shared with us. This visit set the scene for a magical and inspiring journey through Ireland. Missing the Knockpatrick Gardens would be a mistake if you are in or close to County Limerick.

Had the most wonderful visit to knockpatrick. I loved these gardens, the paths meandering through the rich lush planting. A little piece of heaven. I look forward to returning in autumn.

We visited Knockpatrick Gardens on Friday Oct 7th last. Our group of 20 adult learners from VTOS set out walking from Shanagolden to Knockpatrick. We received a warm welcome form the proprietors at the gate. Tim and Helen O'Brien have an encyclopedic knowledge of gardening in Ireland and had an array of magnolias, hydrangeas and azaleas. The guided tour of the garden and grounds was informative and interesting for all and included a history of the grounds and origins of the plants. The views from the gardens are spectacular. Our group would highly recommend the visit. We will return again in spring.

A heart felt welcome that both myself and my wife rarely experienced. We were made so much at home by the owners. An experience that we will treasure forever.
If it is inspiration and solace you are looking for you will find it in this paradise of fusion gardens, a paradise that all of us at some stage in our lives seek but very few of us ever find.

This was a great place to visit! The calm, peaceful walk through all the gardens was the best! Our 80+ guide was so knowledgeable and patient. As there were only three of us, we spent over 2 hours with him. At the end of our guided walk, Coffey was offered. The cook book, Food for Thought, was terrific.

I Visited this extraordinary garden with my daughter a couple of days ago, the weather was kind to us. We were greeted by the host creator and his wife and daughter, directed with a explanatory illustrated sheet.and proceeded to explore a plethora of exceptional varieties of flowers shrubs and trees, some that were totally new to us.A garden lovers wonderland,enhanced by views across to the hills of County Clare. I have visited Kew, Abbotsbury Subtropical, the Eden Project and others , but here in a delightful setting the variety, perfumes, and layouts are a credit to the charming owners who have dedicated their lives to bring immense pleasure to their visitors,and the small entry charge is for a very worthy cause.

Quite simply one of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen in many years of garden visits. This garden is a must see for any who loves gardens. Its exuberant planting, variety and the obvious enthusiasm of the owners is evident throughout the plot . We have visited several gardens during our Irish tour but this is the outstanding one. Every twist and turn reveals something new. The colourful planting is tasteful but not gaudy and shrubs intermingle with herbaceous plants in a lush and exuberant mix. Wherever else you go don't miss this one.

How far are the Knockpatrick Gardens from the Foynes Flying Boat Museum? Is taxi service available for a visit in August?
